The best Hull moving average setting is the 16-period default from creator Alan Hull, though shorter periods work better for scalping and longer ones suit swing trading.
The default setting recommended by Alan Hull is a period of 16. Traders may need to experiment with different settings to find the optimal one for their specific market and approach.
For short-term trading and quick reactions, use shorter periods like 9 or 13. For long-term trends, longer periods like 21 or 55 provide smoother signals.
